We are new to Canvas and I found out that macros in PowerPoint are not supported in Canvas. What do you all use to create the interactive games and can be used also on the Canvas mobile app?
Thanks,Stephanie
Phet has simulations for several subjects and levels that you can directly embed into Canvas using embedding tool/ https://phet.colorado.edu/
Hi, @ssungerank ! I use SoftChalk Cloud to create interactive lessons. The lessons work through the mobile browser on mobile devises, but the Student mobile apps for Canvas do not yet support external tools, but Instructure is working on adding this functionality. I also saw this interesting integration the other day BookWidgets - A must-have for creative teachers in 1:1 iPad classrooms, but I have never used it. As I understand it, bookwidgets has a bunch of interactions that can be inserted into Canvas pages to turn them into interactive lessons. They look pretty spiffy, but I will stick wwith SoftChalk because I have invested in it, and I like that I can edit a lesson once and have the changes go live to all of my classes.
I hope that helps!
You might want to think about Articulate Storyline. It will act like PowerPoint, but has so much more tools. The learning curve is not too bad if you use lynda.com for help.
Have you tried H5P.org? You can create a variety of content there and embed it into Canvas. Not sure how well it work son mobile devices though.. I assume the same.

SoftChalk is also a great tool for building interactive games, and integrates nicely with Canvas, including posting to Gradebook.

Thanks for the information!
I worked with a faculty member on using this site to create a matching game. While it does not send the grades to Canvas, it is nice way to practice concepts. You can use the embed code to insert into Canvas. https://interacty.me/
Canvas doesn’t support PowerPoint macros, but for creating interactive games compatible with the Canvas mobile app, consider tools like H5P for interactive content, Google Slides with linked elements, or external platforms like Kahoot or Quizizz. These are mobile-friendly and integrate well with Canvas.
I have used Blackboard, Moodle, and now work at a Canvas university. When grading quiz items. I want the ability to view all of the students' responses to a single item at once. This could allow consistency in grading and speed up the grading process. This functionality has been available in Moodle for over 10 years.
Has anyone ever encountered this error in the Admin Analytics Student section?
My class policy is that late assignments can be accepted at professor discretion, but they will have a 50% penalty. This is a gate you pass through once, and there are no further penalties. If it's late, you simply get 50% deducted from whatever the score was. This happens regardless of whether it's 5 hours late or 5 weeks…
Teachers often assume that because an assignment is a groupassignment, they will automatically grade it per group via SpeedGrader. With the option “Grade students individually”, they think they’re simply assigning the group grade to each individual student — without realizing that this option actually requires them to…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
